The attached sketch is of my Uranus observation , Observing conditions were very good.
The overall planet color was observed as a teal Blue. The northern cap was distinctly white.
The equatorial belt was a slightly bluish white, not as distinctly white as the northern cap.
Just above the equatorial belt a slightly darker and lightly grey belt was observed.
The southern polar cap was a darker grey than the grey belt.
